ORGANIZATION
AND COMPOSITION
The Attorney Discipline Board is the adjudicative arm of the Michigan Supreme
Court for the discharge of the Court’s exclusive constitutional responsibility to
supervise and discipline Michigan attorneys. The Board, along with its
prosecutorial counterpart, the Attorney Grievance Commission, is part of the
bifurcated system of discipline described in Chapter 9.100 of the Michigan Court
Rules.
The Attorney Discipline Board consists of six lawyers and three public members
(non-lawyers) appointed by the Supreme Court. A member may not serve more
than two three-year terms. All members serve without compensation.
On September 30, 2014, Craig H. Lubben of Kalamazoo and Carl E. Ver Beek
of Grand Rapids, each completed their second three-year terms as members
of the Board. Mr. Lubben served as the Board’s Vice-Chairperson his final year
on the Board. Mr. Lubben and Mr. Ver Beek each brought careful judgment,
analytical skills, and dedication to their service on the Board. The public, the
courts and the legal profession are indebted to these gentlemen, who leave with
the admiration, affection and best wishes of the Board’s members and staff.
Lawyer members James A. Fink and John W. Inhulsen were appointed by the
Supreme Court to new three-year terms on the Board commencing October 1,
2014. Biographical information for the nine members of the Attorney Discipline
Board may be found in Appendix E of this report.
The Board’s Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are appointed to one-year terms
by the Michigan Supreme Court. The Board’s Secretary is elected by its
members. The Board’s officers for one year terms ending September 30, 2015,
are James M. Cameron, Jr. of Ann Arbor, Chairperson; Lawrence G. Campbell
of Detroit, Vice-Chairperson; and Dulce M. Fuller of Birmingham, Secretary.
STAFF
Michigan Court Rule 9.110 authorizes the Attorney Discipline Board to appoint
an attorney as its counsel. The Board’s full-time staff consists of: Mark A.
Armitage, Executive Director and General Counsel; Wendy A. Neeley, Deputy
Director and Associate Counsel; Sherry Mifsud, Office Administrator; Jennifer
M. Petty, Paralegal/Webmaster; Kathy Phillips, Case Manager; Allyson M.
Plourde, Case Manager; and Juliette M. Loiselle, Receptionist.
OFFICE AND
HEARING
FACILITY
The Attorney Discipline Board is located at 211 W. Fort St., Suite 1410, Detroit,
Michigan 48226 (corner of Fort St. and Washington Blvd.). The Board’s
facilities include hearing and conference rooms for public hearings conducted
by the Board and hearing panels.
VOLUNTEER
HEARING
PANELISTS
The Board maintains a current roster of more than 420 attorneys appointed
annually to serve on three-member hearing panels. Hearing panelists are
currently located in 39 of Michigan’s 83 counties. The 2014 hearing panelist
roster is attached as Appendix F. The Board seeks to appoint attorneys as
panel members with diverse backgrounds and who represent a broad range of
professional experience. Further information regarding the role of hearing
panelists, the rules regarding their appointment and disqualification and the
panelist application form are available on the ADB website: www.adbmich.org.

HEARING PANEL
PROCEEDINGS
Complaints submitted by clients, judges or other lawyers regarding an attorney’s
conduct are investigated by the Grievance Administrator and his or her staff
under the supervision of the Attorney Grievance Commission, a separate
agency. If formal disciplinary proceedings are authorized by the Commission,
the charges of misconduct are set forth in a formal complaint filed by the
Administrator.
Upon the filing of a formal complaint with the Attorney Discipline Board, the
matter is assigned to a hearing panel and scheduled for hearing within 56 days.
Proceedings before a panel are open to the public and are conducted under the
Michigan Court Rules applicable to a civil non-jury trial in a circuit court and the
Michigan Rules of Evidence. During 2014, hearing panels conducted 90 public
hearings throughout the state.
Charges of misconduct must be established by a preponderance of the
evidence. If misconduct is not established, the panel must enter an order of
dismissal. Upon a finding of misconduct, the panel must conduct a separate
phase of the hearing to determine the appropriate discipline. The levels of
discipline provided in the court rules are reprimand, probation, license
suspension, and disbarment (revocation of the license to practice law).
Discipline orders must include an assessment of administrative costs together
with the actual costs incurred by the Grievance Commission and Discipline
Board, and may include an order of restitution to an aggrieved client. The Board
collected assessed costs of $116,438 from disciplined lawyers in 2014. Orders
of reprimand and suspension may include additional conditions relevant to the
established misconduct, including legal education, reformation of law office
practices and personal counseling.
Orders of discipline entered by a hearing panel, including orders for suspension
and disbarment, constitute final orders and may be enforced in civil contempt
proceedings by the Grievance Administrator. Final orders of a hearing panel
may be appealed to the Board within 21 days by the respondent, the Grievance
Administrator or the complainant.
BOARD REVIEW
&
OTHER ACTIONS
In addition to their administrative and oversight responsibilities, the nine
appointed members of the Attorney Discipline Board serve as the intermediate
appellate level of Michigan’s discipline system. Hearing panel decisions are
reviewed based upon the record presented to the hearing panel and the written
and oral arguments presented by the parties at a public hearing before the
Board. Following its review, the Board may enter an order affirming, reversing,
remanding or modifying the panel’s order. A party or the complainant may seek
further review by the Michigan Supreme Court by filing an application for leave
to appeal. The Board regularly considers and disposes of petitions for
interlocutory review, various motions for reconsideration as well as motions
seeking stays of discipline, requests for payment plans and extensions of time
to pay costs, consolidation or severance of pending matters, and the institution
of show cause proceedings for alleged violations of discipline orders.
The Board took the following actions in 2014 in connection with review
proceedings initiated pursuant to MCR 9.118 or in accordance with its other
duties:

There were 75 new formal complaints filed in 2014 containing original charges
of misconduct following an investigation by the Attorney Grievance Commission.
Twenty new cases were commenced under MCR 9.120 with the filing of a
judgment of conviction establishing that the attorney had been convicted of a
crime. Eight petitions for reinstatement in accordance with MCR 9.123(B) were
filed in 2014 by attorneys suspended for 180 days or more. In addition, the
Grievance Administrator filed 10 petitions seeking miscellaneous relief (six for
enforcement of an earlier order for discipline, two consent petitions to allow an
attorney’s resignation pursuant to an order of revocation under MCR 9.115(M),
one stipulation to set aside/vacate reprimand and one motion to quash
subpoena under MCR 9.112(D)), two petitions seeking an attorney’s transfer to
inactive status and five reciprocal discipline actions based upon the imposition
of discipline in another jurisdiction.
The Board opened 126 new files in 2014. The following table (Table 1)
illustrates the Board’s annual intake of new cases since 2004.

FINAL
DISPOSITIONS
The Attorney Discipline Board issued 120 final disposition orders in 2014,
including orders of discipline, orders of dismissal, orders granting or denying
reinstatement (or dismissing a petition for reinstatement) and orders for
transfer to inactive status. Public discipline orders (disbarment, suspension,
reprimand, probation or orders of “no discipline”) were issued in 94 cases. A
complete list of the orders of discipline issued in 2014 appears in Appendix C.
Orders of discipline issued since 2004 are illustrated in Table 2, below.
Table 2 - Discipline Orders Issued, 2004 - 2014
DISCIPLINE
BY CONSENT
The respondent and the Grievance Administrator may enter into a stipulation for
a consent order of discipline. This procedure, described in MCR 9.115(F)(5),
allows a respondent attorney to admit or plead no contest to the charges in the
complaint in exchange for a stated form of discipline. Written notice of the
stipulation must be provided to the complainant and the stipulation must be
approved by both the Attorney Grievance Commission and a hearing panel.
Forty-Eight consent orders of discipline were finalized in 2014, accounting for
51% of all final orders of discipline.
Consent orders were finalized in the following discipline categories in 2014:

TYPES OF
MISCONDUCT
RESULTING IN
DISCIPLINE
A summary of the final discipline orders in 2014, showing the predominant
nature of the misconduct and the resulting discipline, is included in this report
as Appendix B.
The largest category of misconduct, accounting for 21% of all discipline orders
issued in 2014, was for conduct characterized by a lack of diligence, lack of
competence, and/or neglect of client matters. In some cases in this category,
the attorney’s neglect or mishandling of client matters was accompanied by
additional misconduct including failing to keep clients reasonably informed,
failure to return unearned fees, and/or failure to answer request(s) for
investigation or failing to respond to a lawful demand for information from a
discipline authority.
Nineteen Michigan lawyers were publicly disciplined in 2014 as the result of a
criminal conviction. These cases accounted for 19% of discipline orders issued
in 2014. In seven cases involving a lawyer’s felony conviction, the lawyer was
subject to an automatic interim suspension, effective the date of conviction and
until the entry of a final order by a hearing panel. Discipline was also ordered
for 12 lawyers convicted of various misdemeanor offenses, including five
lawyers disciplined for driving offenses involving alcohol.
Mishandling of funds or trust accounts was the primary misconduct in 19 cases,
or 20% of the orders of discipline issued in 2014, and Appendix B breaks these
cases into two categories, the first of which involved conversion of client or third
party funds (sometimes known as “misappropriation”); this category accounts
for 7% of the 94 cases in which discipline was ordered. The category “other
money offenses” includes misconduct such as failure to promptly refund an
unearned fee, commingling not involving conversion, and other violations of the
trust accounting rule (MRPC 1.15). In several cases, lawyers improperly kept
their personal funds in a trust account, contrary to MRPC 1.15.
Other types of misconduct resulting in discipline in 2014 included reciprocal
discipline based on a finding of misconduct in another jurisdiction (9%), a
lawyer’s failure to comply with a prior discipline order (6%), conflicts of interest
(5%), and misrepresentations to a tribunal or a client (4%).
REINSTATEMENTS
Attorneys suspended for 179 days or less are automatically reinstated upon the
filing of an affidavit of compliance with the Supreme Court. Nineteen attorneys
were automatically reinstated under this rule in 2014. In cases of disbarment
or suspensions of 180 days or more, the attorney must file a petition for
reinstatement which is followed by an investigation by the Grievance
Administrator and a hearing before a panel to determine the applicant’s fitness
to re-enter the practice of law. Attorneys suspended for three years or more
must also undergo recertification by the State Board of Law Examiners.
Eight reinstatement petitions were filed with the Board and assigned to panels
in 2014 for hearing. The Board or its panels issued five orders reinstating
attorneys whose licenses had been suspended or disbarred.
Four
reinstatement petitions were denied or dismissed.
PENDING
CASELOAD
As of December 31, 2014, there were a total of 77 open discipline or
reinstatement cases pending before a hearing panel, the Attorney Discipline
Board or the Michigan Supreme Court.

FUNDING AND
EXPENSES
The Attorney Discipline Board receives no public funds. Michigan’s Attorney
Discipline System (the Attorney Discipline Board and Attorney Grievance
Commission) is funded primarily from the discipline portion of the dues paid by
all active members of the State Bar of Michigan. Under the current dues
structure approved by the Supreme Court, effective until September 1, 2014,
annual dues for active members were $305, of which $110 (36%) was
specifically allocated to the Attorney Discipline System. Effective September 1,
2014, the overall dues decreased to $285 as a result of a reduction in the
discipline portion of the dues to $90. For the fiscal year which ended
September 30, 2014, the combined operating expenses of the Attorney
Discipline Board and the Attorney Grievance Commission were $4,798,171.
The Attorney Discipline Board’s operating expenses in FY 2013-2014 were
$984,798. A chart summarizing the Board’s expenses for 2013-2014 is included
below (Table 3). A complete itemization of the Board’s expenses for the fiscal
year is attached to this report as Appendix D.
